Dear Princess Celestia:
I should write you more often, I always enjoyed sending in my reports, even when they're no longer necessary. At any we have a somewhat unusual case here at Ponyville. Pinkie Pie suddenly sprouted a unicorn horn, magic and all. I have researched on all my books and so far I wasn't able to find it happening ever before. Do you know what could have happened?
In the meantime we had Pinkie enroll in Magic Preschool so she could control herself… It didn't work. AJ has volunteered to head the reconstruction, while I… try to teach Pinkie self-control.
Please reply as soon as possible.
Twilight Sparkle.
Pinkie Pie was happily bouncing up and down near the edge of the Everfree Forest where Twilight would try to instruct her friend, with the least amount of casualties possible. Fluttershy was also present but was rather busily clearing the area and rescuing the little critters that irremediably floated away as soon as they entered Pinkie's effect radio.
TS: Pinkie I need you to focus on me. –Suddenly Twilight began to float- not what I meant.
PP: Hehe… oops. Let me… try to… get… you… down… -Pinkie tried her hardest but could only make the alicorn spin around, while Fluttershy grabbed a floating family of moles.
Twilight sighed she knew it wasn't Pinkie's fault, all unicorns had difficulties controlling their powers as foals, luckily their powers grew as they grew older and able to control them. But Pinkie had no such lifetime of getting used to them and her powers were the same as a regular unicorn.
TS: It's alright Pinkie, let's try something different.
PP: Gee… I'm sorry Twilight, Rarity and you make it seem so easy.
TS: I used to think the same of Rainbow… and Fluttershy when I got these. –Said spreading her wing- But they helped me then and as I'm able to fly we can get you to…not make everything around you float. –she said as Fluttershy helped a school of fish into a crystal bowl.
TS: Let's try focusing on levitating one little thing at a time. Fluttershy, do you believe Angel would like to help us?
Fluttershy: Well… that's really up to him. But, I mean, if you don't perhaps you could try first on this bag of seed.
TS: All right. Pinkie try reaching it without moving. Remember concentrate on the bag.
PP: Oki-dokie.
Pinkie put her game face on, and tried hard to focus on the seed bag, one by one the floating critters fell down as the bag rose in the air.
TS: That's it Pinkie, you can do it. Keep focus!
Pinkie was sweating profusely, but she was doing it, the bag was midway there, she heard her friends cheering her and then… the bag exploded raining sunflowers seed all over the three ponies.
Twilight sighed in defeat, as Pinkie tumbled over the headache it had caused her and Fluttershy fell paralyzed on the ground. Angel gasped in horror before running into Fluttershy's hut locking the door behind him.
TS: Maybe we should try something else.
Outside the library Twilight reads a book while Rarity and Spike, carrying a list, walked down the lane.
TS: Have you been everywhere?
Spike: Yep. Everything that were floating about have been grounded.
TS: That's great; you have been of great help.
Rarity: Anything, for our sweet Pinkie. But, tell me Twilight how is her… rehabilitation going?
S: Yeah we heard that she made quite a blast at Fluttershy's.
TS: Not to worry. We have a rough start but she is giving her all, right now she has been three hours staring at a rock.
Spike and Rarity looked at each other confused.
TS: It's to teach her to passively focus and have her emotions controlled, so at least everything stays put on her path.
S: Yeah right.
R: Twilight, we are deeply sorry to doubt you. But you must understand our skepticism. We are talking about Pinkie, after all.
TS: I have been here the whole time, and look nothing is floating. –Twilight continued to talk as she invited them inside to check on Pinkie. –See nothing out of the ordinary.
S: Uhm… Twilight.
Twilight opened her eyes and saw a kaleidoscope of colors as the rock which Pinkie was staring at quickly changed colors, with disco music to boost.
PP:Ah? Hi girls! I must say Twilight at first I was bored that I was simply looking at a rock, but it became fun after a while.
Rarity and Spike saw Twilight with accusative eyes.
TS: Well, at least nothing is floating. That's progress.
Pinkie walked with Twilight back to Sugar Cube Corner, the pink pony looking down of inspirits. For the most part Pinkie could control her powers, Twilight only stepping up once in a while.
TS: Don't feel bad Pinkie.
PP: Rarity once told me most unicorns learn to handle their magic by the time they get their cutie marks.
TS: I believe she meant that most unicorns learn to control their powers when they know what their calling is and therefore use it to channel their magic; but you had a tremendous advance today.
PP: Do you think so? I feel since I get this stupid horn I'm just a bother to everyone around.
TS: Of course not we… Mr. Cake, what are you doing?
A group of construction ponies were busy bolting the shop to the ground and Mr. Cake was hammering down everything, including cupcakes and the éclair that fling it's filling to the faces of the newly arrived.
MrC: Oh, I'm just making sure everything stays there in the morning. Better safe than sorry right?
Mr. Cake gave them a worried smile while they cleaned the cream off, that only made Pinkie feel worse.
TS: That won't be necessary, Pinkie is much better in controlling herself now.
MrC: Great news. But just to be sure…
PP: Oh… I'll pay for the remodeling.
Worker Pony: This one on the house, thanks to you we have to rebuild half of Ponyville.
Pinkie lowered her head once more.
TS: Hey! It was only magic preschool… and the market place.
WP: And the fence of the Apples, the Spa…
PP: The towns square statue, the clock tower and the Quills and Sofa Shop.
Pinkie sighed as she climbed gloomily upstairs. Twilight gave the working Ponies and Mr. Cake and angry look.
Pinkie was alone in her room, alone but for Gummy, her pet alligator.
PP: I have become a bother to all my friends. –She said in a sad tone looking at herself in the mirror, she changed her frown for a scowl- it all was fine until you appeared –Pinkie tried to pull the horn out of her head, rolling around the room, until she finally gave up.-Aaaarrrrrrgggghhhhhhh! –in exasperation Pinkie focused her magic on her pillow decided to make it work this time. The pillow did float up, but soon ballooned several times its size until finally it exploded in a multi-color lights and feather everywhere.
Pinkie felt frustrated but the feathers were tickling her as they fell, and soon she was laughing wholeheartedly. Soon she had a most amazing realization.
The next morning as Mr. Cake was reluctantly opening business, dreading the disaster that Pinkie would have make during the night. Instead he found the shop in impeccable condition, and not a single pastry nailed to anything. Beside that a note on the counter that he read:
"I'm sorry for all the troubles I caused you, especially since you have always being so kind to me. But you don't need to worry; I know exactly what to do now. In fact come to Town Square at noon and I will explain everything.
PS. I baked a new batch of everything for today, turns out nails taste pretty rusty."
That day all of Ponyville gathered, curious about what Pinkie of all ponies could possibly have decided upon.
RD: Twilight! –Called Rainbow Dash who came in tow with Rarity, Applejack and Fluttershy- What's going on?
TS: I'm not sure, when I woke up this morning Spike found this note from Pinkie.
RD: So did us. So did everypony.
R: What could possibly have her pull a stunt like this?
TS: I don't know. I hope that at least she doesn't make anything rash.
Applejack: I hope so. But you know our Pinkie, that pony is harder to figur' up than a goat herd on top of an orchard.
Just as every colt and mare in the town was pondering the same, Mayor Mare took the stage, followed by Pinkie Pie.
MM: Good evening mares and gentlecolts. As requested by Pinkie here, according to and old law, that to be frank I wasn't aware of its existence, it decrees that when a mare or colt manage to upset the whole town he or she may call for an assembly and publicly give an apology. The mic is yours darling.
PP: Thanks!
MM: (to her assistance) Remind me to revise and admen those laws.
PP: Everypony! I know yesterday I caused you all a lot of problems, so as my way of say sorry I have only this to say.
Pinkie once more in front of the whole town tried to levitate a little box that nopony had noticed was on top of the fountain statue.
TS: Pinkie wait!
Twilight warned, but it was too late, like everything else the pink pony had tried to focus on, the box also bloated until it couldn't contain it anymore and burst. But this time streamers and glitter rained upon the crowd, and multiple party favors and balloons floated and danced around. Music started to play, cupcakes and snacks floated from the city hall for everypony to enjoy. Pinkie then shoots the central statue that gleamed and changed color with the music, the town square turning it into a dance floor.
PP: Welcome all to my "I'm so sorry about yesterday" Apology Surprise Party!
Everypony was shocked but it wasn't long before everyone was enjoying themselves, after all nopony planned a party as Pinkie Pie.
TS: Pinkie I have to apologize. I was tackling the problem wrong all along. Unicorn magic is supposed to work best alongside a pony special talent. I should have taken that into consideration given the special circumstance.
PP: Don't worry about that Twilight. Just enjoy the party.
Pinkie was happy the party had resulted, just as she expected. Everyone enjoyed themselves until it became late and one by one the residents of Ponyville left the party. She had thrown her best impromptu party yet and was thanks to her new powers.
PP: Well that's that. Oh Gummy! –said floating her pet alligator to her arms- this was the BESTEST PARTY EVER! Everyone was laughing and playing… sigh…Too bad it had to end, I mean all parties have to end, is not like anypony can throw an endless party. Not even me.
Pinkie had a sudden realization.
PP: Or could I?
